On this occasion, minister Tahiri stressed the importance of the compliance with the principles of democracy, human freedom, civic freedom and human rights, among which the principle of dignity remains invulnerable.
 

“First and foremost, as citizens, as institutions and as politics we should concentrate all our energies in order to bring to life these principles in our daily life and to render them understandable. In this respect, justice is the basic precondition that enables all of us to believe in these principles and to preserve them as values that would steer us with respect to ourselves and to each other” said Tahiri.

The investment made in the Correctional Service of Kosovo is essential in the sphere of Rule of Law, and hence Minister Tahiri once again highlighted his focus on the elimination of illegal practices within prisons and on raising the responsibility in the prevention of negative occurrences.

“We are working on providing better conditions for prisoners and ensuring the respect of their fundamental rights irrespective of race, language and religion, and in accordance with the applicable legislation and international conventions” said the Minister.

At the end of his speech, Minister Tahiri highlighted that the infrastructure as an objective shall not end here, since a special attention shall be paid to each correctional center in order to make all necessary improvements so that all persons who are serving the sentence will have consolidated conditions and adequate environment during their stay in these institutions.
